Sharyn Atkinson doesn't claim to have all the answers, but after twelve years of being single in Melbourne, she does have some hilarious-and cringe-worthy-stories to tell. In this light-hearted, playful, and honest account of her romantic experiences, she tells these stories of hope, loss, deception, discovery, and love in all its many forms-from the sexual to the metaphysical. Though she would love to get married and start a family, Sharyn isn't settling for anyone-even if that means navigating the murky waters of dating in her thirties when everyone else has paired off and can't understand why she chooses to stay single, year after year. As Sharyn explains, "I'm not waiting for someone to come along so that I can start a new life or anything. I already have a great life. I just want someone that I can share it with. And that someone has to be the right person for me, rather than close enough to it."Whether you're single, happily married, or somewhere in between in the dating game, Sharyn's honest, relatable, and disarming accounts of trying to find "the one" in a vast sea of "not quite" will have you nodding in understanding and considering the various people you've decided to make time for-or catch and release. Take comfort in knowing that someone else is going through it too-and has the resilience to roll the dating-dice again, knowing that Mr. Right might be just around the corner.
